Answer:  72

Step-by-step explanation:    so you do a line = line method the lines should look like they are fractions.  

you do it for the both numbers the percent is always out of 100.

it should look like this

40%            ?

--------- = -----------    

100%       180

then you cross multiply 40 and 180 and than divide it by 100.   your answer should be 72.    you later replace the ? with 72

you know this because It is smaller than 180 and its bigger than the number 40.
